Psalm 15 – Daily Bread from the Psalms
Daily Bread: Thoughts and Prayers from the Psalms ~Psalm 15~ Do what’s right. Speak truth. Be kind. Simple words of wisdom to live by. As David prayed the words of this Psalm to the Lord, I picture him contemplating his own close communion with God. David’s words echo the cry of his heart to rest from the craziness and evil of the world around him (see his previous Psalms!), and find himself living in another reality- the green pastures of the Presence of God. He rehearses his commitment to live out the kindness of the Lord before man all the days of his life. I pray we find ourselves with the same…

Daily Bread from the Psalms (Psalm 14)
Daily Bread from the Psalms -Psalm 14- What would it be like to walk through all the ups and downs of life without God? Do you remember a time when you tried?

Do feelings about your difficult circumstances ever overwhelm the truth that you know? As we read in Psalm 10 this week, it is quite easy to take our focus off Jesus when we are facing hard times. Those feelings of doubt, discouragement, and sadness can creep in and cause our faith to shudder. Don’t beat yourself up too much though. You aren’t alone in doing this. Remember Peter and the whole walking on water story (Matthew 14:22-34)? And in today’s Psalm, David is right…

Daily Bread from the Psalms (Psalm 12)
Daily Bread: Thoughts and Prayers from the Psalms ~Psalm 12~ Praying through the Psalms- If you have been praying through the Psalms with me, there have probably been portions or promises that have BURST in your heart as you have read or prayed them. For me today, it was the declaration that “the words of the LORD are flawless !” FLAWLESS !! What a comfort it is to know that on His words we can STAND solidly with all assurance and confidence. We can read the words of these Psalms and declare them as our own! Psalm 12- Psalm 12 was also a reminder to me about the importance of hiding…
